Thought the following was lost, so I "recomposed" the above post, but I want to add this:

Fresh movies on the DVR to preview and cull. Wonderful docu-movie of Richard III with Al Pacino in charge. Fun to see him move from self to character.

One result of the Harrisburg trip is a renewed interest in taking my Spirituals Workshop to local churches and schools, and perhaps some workshops also on our Saturday Night Service. Both are teaching AND participatory workshops that may lead to some consulting follow-ups.

One thing that's working about this is that some new verses are coming to mind spontaneously to express/evoke/elicit delicate topics-- using song to begin some long-overdue conversations. I'm also pondering my way towards using spirituals (sung "clips") as much-needed breaks in the incessant verbality of so many church activities I find myself in. All I need is a wallet card to remind me of a few handy song-starters and let strokebrain lead me from there as the occasion suits.

I love new mornings!
